5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable Argon Regulator for Welding Projects
I recently used the RX WELD Argon Regulator Flow Meter for my welding projects, and it has been a game changer. The flow meter is incredibly accurate, which ensures a steady and consistent gas flow. This accuracy has noticeably improved the quality of my welds.Setting up the regulator was a breeze, and the included gas hose fit perfectly with my existing equipment. The build quality of the regulator is solid, giving me confidence in its durability over time.One thing I appreciated is how easy it is to read the gauge. The clear markings and sturdy construction make adjustments straightforward, even while wearing gloves. The regulator has maintained its performance without any issues, providing a reliable gas flow for all my MIG and TIG welding needs.The only minor downside is that the hose length could be a bit longer, but it’s a small trade-off considering the overall performance. For DIY enthusiasts and professional welders alike, this argon regulator is a fantastic addition to the toolkit.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good for the price, for the home-jobber
I'm not a pro welder. If you're looking for such opinions, skip mine.I'm a home-jobber, hobby-welder. I needed a flow meter to get my mig setup to do aluminum wire. This flow meter attached just fine to my argon bottle, no issues. The hose it came with is fine too. I detected no leaks once it was all snugged up (I just used soapy water spray).I have no way to test if the flow-rate I'm setting is accurate. I used settings I found on-line (~15 to 20 ft/min), did my aluminum migging and the parts were joined. My welds don't look great, but it worked... my destructive testing tells me the welds are at least as strong as the base metal (aluminum angle).What I could notice was I didn't get the ugly porosity that low/no shielding gas would show. So, as far as I know, the flow-meter is passing out enough gas to do the job. Maybe its too much?.. no idea. More may be a waste than 'the right amount', but the welds are cleaner than if it was too low.I tested the low/no shielding gas use-case just so I could see what it looks like... and its very ugly. Look online for pics/vids of bad shielding on aluminum welds... its unmistakable when you see it. Now, when I say 'ugly', I mean beyond the clumpy, uneven welds a home-jobber like me puts down... b/c my welds are 'ugly'. I don't stack dimes,... I may lay down a dime, then a quarter, then a nickel... repeatedly. Bad form, bad movement control, all the wrong stuff. So, what I mean is, the low-shielding-gas issues present as pits/pot-holes and dirty/dark spots in the weld... that would make even an otherwise pro-welder's nice 'dime-stack' look like a pitted, dusky looking mess. Once you've seen it, you know what to look for.Despite my good results, I'd say that any pro is not going to use or trust this 'cheap' meter, nor should they. If your welding is mission-critical and/or lives are on the line, use the good stuff... and any pro welder knows that anyway.If you're like me and just need to stick some metal together for small projects where if they fail no one dies?.. then perhaps this flow-meter is just fine for you as well.
5.0 out of 5 stars Don’t think twice
Works great and the price is even better! Don’t think twice just buy it!
4.0 out of 5 stars Good so far.
Pressure gauge wasn’t working at first but flow meter did work. Tapped on pressure gauge a couple times and gave it a little twist and it started working. Besides that it works great.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent regulator
I've been a welder for a long time and used all the typical top brands at work. About a year ago I bought my own welder and didn't want to spend top brand money. Found this and thought well give it a shot and it definitely gives the others a run for the money. So far it's proved to be durable. Even if I break it somehow its cheap enough to just get another. It came with the right fittings for an easy hookup.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly!
I have a Hobart Handler 180 Mig Welder. I moved about 7 years ago and had to wait for a garage renovation with a new workshop before I could hook it up. I finally had a need to use it, to weld a broken frame on my ATV snowplow and I couldn't find the regulator. Somehow I lost it in the move or the 7-year waiting period.I ordered this one because it seemed to have everything I needed and looked like a better setup. I never really liked the original valve because it used a barb connector and hose clamp. I know the Argon gas is delivered at low pressure, it's non-flammable and non-explosive, and a clamp is sufficient, but I still didn't like it.I read reviews and saw several people claiming that you couldn't connect the hose to the regulator without cutting the end off and using the barb. Based on the pictures I couldn't see why that would be so I went ahead with the order. To all the people who can't get the hose connected, you are either missing a piece, got the wrong piece, or don't realize that you take the barb out of it's adapter and use the adapter to connect the hose. If you're reading this review then let me assure you, the hose connects to the regulator if you use the adapter correctly.The valve worked flawlessly for my snowplow project. I wish I could say the same for my welding skills. The 7 years of waiting didn't do my skills any favors.

Hose fittings not compatible
Ordered the regulator flowmeter kit along with the hose. The regulator and flowmeter look reasonable quality. The supplied hose also looks reasonable quality with crimped male fittings at each end. The issue I have is the hose fittings are too big for the supplied regulator connection. The regulator comes with a loose hose connection, so in order to get this to work, I would have to cut off one of the hose crimped connections, then fit the supplied hose connection with jubilee clamp. The reason I purchased the regulator kit with hose was to have proper crimped connections that should last longer then my old pushfit connectors. Sent back for refund.
Lead ends fittings don't fit the regulator clamp is poor quality and the fittings NPT - no good
Whilst the regulator comes with a gas line it has completely wrong fitting attached. You do get a single female coupling and a poor quality hose clamp- you have to cut you gas line . Also the flow meter (floating ball) has Argon and CO2 scale. Not sure on accuracy and male cone fittings are nor rubber nut machined brass. Not exact mating to cylinder outlets so care and check for leaks regularly- additionally the main fitting to the bottle is a USA NPT thread and does not fit Australia BSP gas bottle threads. - whilst you can change the nit - the added cost and messing around- not worth the headache. Do not buy for Australia
